Present

Suyundalla Farms is now being run by Pappy and Mammy's great-grandson, Ken, his wife, and their five children. The farm has been modernized but alot of the old farm is still here.

The spirit of the old huckstering truck is still here, along with some of the old horse drawn equipment. The original barn still stands, which houses the family cows. Side by side in the pole barn are the original tractors, and the new tractors. In 1985 the family decided to reintroduce the farm into the fruit and vegetable market and start raising sheep, while still growing the traditional field crops.

Most of the old fruit trees are gone, and have been replaced with new ones. The peach, apricot, and cherry varieties are new. The apples are heirloom varieties. Rhode Island Red cross chickens are raised for their brown eggs.

Since we are a working farm it is not unusual to see the equipment going through the parking area. Many times a hay wagon sits waiting to be parked in a barn, or one of the gravity wagons is waiting to be unloaded. And there is always other work to do, such as picking the produce for the market, mowing, weeding, and the inevitable repairs. That is life on a family farm.
